Answer the following:
(i) In Zinc Blende structure there is one Zn +2 ion per S –2 ion. But the radius ratio lies in the range of Tetrahedral void and there are two tetrahedral voids available per S –2 . Can you give the idea about the arrangement of the lattice?
(ii) What is the striking difference between the Fluorite and the Anti-fluorite structures.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Sol.(i) Zn +2 ions occupy alternate tetrahedral holes.
(ii) AntiFlourite: Anions in FCC and Cations in
Tetrahedral holes, Fluorite: Cations in FCC and
Anions in Tetrahedral holes
